Good catch... the devil is in the details. I guess the angle here is that Catena Zapata is best know as a producer of some of the top Malbec made in Argentina.

FWIW, the Malbec equivalent of the Nicolas Catena Zapata is the Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino.... this way made its debut in the 2004 vintage and has received rave reviews from Wine Spectator and The Wine Advocate.
